Discovery of the Wanderlust (Book 2 of the Wanderlust Saga)

Trapped on the far side of the universe, can a divided crew uncover the truth before betrayal tears them apart?

Months after the battle that stranded them in the Tetra Galaxy, the Wanderlust’s crew—an uneasy blend of Tri-Galactic Union officers and former Anti-Ra rebels—faces mounting tension as they struggle to work together. When a mysterious hyperspatial slipstream promises a potential shortcut home, hope flares—until the ship is ambushed and taken over by a brutal alien species with ties to a traitor among their ranks.

Now, Lieutenant T’lia Diaz, a defiant Xolo-Lupinian engineer, must navigate a web of lies to protect her crew and reclaim their ship. But with enemies on all sides—including one she once called a friend—her toughest challenge might be deciding who she can trust.

Join a crew of uplifted animals and alien misfits as they face betrayal, alien research experiments, and the perils of survival in a distant galaxy. Can they rise above their divisions, or will they be lost to the stars forever?
